But why does that kill you? I come to FR every day, I rarely post a thread and I have NEVER been annoyed at anything anyone has ever posted in my 12 years here. I figure if I am not interested in it, or if I have already seen it, maybe someone else hasn’t seen it or is interested in it. It is of absolutely no moment to me what other people post and I am sincerely puzzled by those who rag on fellow freepers for this kind of stuff. WHY does it matter? HOW does it impact you in such a way that you need to criticize?

If someone takes an AP or Reuters story that has been around for hours, adds three introductory sentences, then treats it as new then I have an issue.

Basically, there are blog pimpers here who post 15 articles a day in order to get hits to their own websites. If you look at their posting history, they post their story and never reply to the thread again.

If it bothers me, then it bothers me. I just don't think it adds to this site. I think the bloggers and personal category should be filled with original works, not rehashes. But, then again, I'm a guest here.
